Solart
presents the works of Guillermo
Acevedo. Originally from Peru, Acevedo came to
the United States in 1959 in search of a better life
for
his wife and three children. His original plan was
to move to New York City where he could establish himself
as the accomplished artist he had already enjoyed in
his native Lima.

For
two decades, Guillermo Acevedo became well known in
San Diego for his poignant portrayal of Native Americans as
well as his drawings of San Diego homes and tuna boats
from the once thriving Tuna industry along San Diego
bay. Acevedo later made his mark in San Francisco and
continued to paint and exhibit his works there until
he passed away in 1988.

Most
of the works are for sale. For information on purchasing
any of the art of Guillermo Acevedo, please contact
